Kansas City faced AFC West rivals Los Angeles Chargers in their first home game of the 2022 season.

The field at Arrowhead has been painted in a retro design.

Both end zones were painted exactly as they looked in 1972.

It was intended to mark the 50th anniversary of the stadium’s first game.

Arrowhead Stadium opened its doors to the NFL for the first time on August 12, 1972.

The Chiefs logo in the end zone is now painted in a retro design.

And both the “KC” and AFC symbols on either side have been painted in the exact same design as 50 years ago.

The logo on the 50-yard line is also the same as it was then.

Arrowhead Stadium is one of the loudest in the NFL.

Fans broke a world record in 2014 when they hit 142.2 decibels.

The stadium holds over 76,000 fans and has become a stronghold for the Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes has guided her to back-to-back Super Bowls in 2019 and 2020, with victory in the first of those.
